The electro-pop duo out of Sydney sell themselves on an ideal of bittersweet nostalgia.

They very nearly skewered themselves with the motif, since the idea itself conjures better times you've already had, but there's not really anything to compare them to except a low rpm club scene or the fifth-beer haze of day drinking. If little else, its selection of surreptitious beats and guest samples will get you swaying, but the EP is definitely at its most interesting when it features its friends, with Hurricane in particular offering the most divergent moments in an otherwise vaguely soporific fifteen minutes.
